Thomas Lee Stanley, age 75 of Alliance, passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 13, 2014 surrounded by his loving family. He was born May 19, 1938 in Alliance, the son of the late John and Bernice (Hoover) Stanley. He was a graduate of Alliance High School Class of 1956 and proudly served his country in the United States Air Force. Tom was a former x-ray radiographer at TRW and retired from PCC Airfoils in Wickliffe. He was a lifetime member of the Elks BPOE #467 and a member of the North End - Next Generation. He thought a lot of the "Class of 58" and enjoyed their activities.

Tom was a wonderful husband, father and papa. He enjoyed time spent with his family and friends and lived life to the fullest. Tom loved watching and cheering for his grandchildren during their sporting events and other activities. He was an avid Browns fan. Tom enjoyed a good cup of coffee, listening to jazz music, dancing, playing cards, talking with friends and the Florida sunshine.

He is survived by his high school sweetheart and loving wife of 52 years, Caroline (Edwards); two children, Lisa (Robert) Carr and Chris (Kim) Stanley; grandchildren, Korey Carr, Allie Carr, Carli Stanley and Luke Stanley; sisters, LaRilla Snode of VA and Shirley Specht of Alliance; sister and brother-in-laws, cousins, nephews, nieces and friends.

In addition to his parents, Tom is preceded in death by his sisters, Annabelle Peatee, Margaret Diehl and Nancy Barclay; and brother, John J. Stanley.

The family would like to thank so many friends and family for their acts of kindness and special thanks to the staff at Alliance Community Care Center. In keeping with Tom's wishes, no public services are planned at this time. He would want you to make the most of each day. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Diabetes Association, Alliance High School Foundation or the Alliance Elks BPOE #467. Arrangements are at the direction of the Paquelet-Falk Funeral Home of Louisville. (2-17-14)

Carol, and all the family and many friends of Tom, my most sincere and hearth felt condelences.

Tom was a fine man and a complete gentleman. I have never heard one bad word spoken by Tom about anybody else, nor have I ever heard a bad word said about him. Those two facts alone, tell what a special man Tom was. I always had so much respect for that man. He will be missed by many.

I know he suffered for a long time, but he is at now resting in peace. Jim Klan
